Don't Pass This One Up... It's My-Cool Michael

About Me

I don't wish to sound conceited but here are some personlity traits and circumstances that surround my life... I am a Casino Dealer on the strip (just a job not my career), I have never been married, no kids, don't smoke, don't gamble, am responsible, an author, trainer, and mediation consultant who specializes in conflict resolution (comes in handy in a relationship), I'm patient, very and often overly affectionate, fun-loving, easy-going, grounded, a great friend (I hope), trustworthy, a fantastic sense of humor (so I've been told) who looks somewhat like an Italian Bruce Willis that might turn your head and make you glance again at my deep blue eyes and Patrick Swayze-yoga butt (not my label, and by the way I have nice teeth even though I'm not showing any in the pics)...

My Interests

To condense all of my interests into this space is extremely difficult but I'll give it a shot with a few. Here are some of the things that I fortunately or unfortunately love and obsess about on a consistent basis... yoga, Vipassana meditation, the outdoors and wilderness hiking, staying fit, flirting, traveling, finding the love of my life, ferocious reader, spending quality time with friends, literature (particularly spirituality), playing guitar, sustainable living, retiring in London, Canada, Oregon, or Colorado, a fascination for india's holy men called "yogis/sadhus."

I'd like to meet:

I'm more interested in being the right person than finding the right person. However, someone who would turn out to be my best friend, confidant, lover, and partner in this crazy ride called life. I would like to get married someday but am holding out until I locate the right person for me. I'm a great catch (not to toot my own horn) and have a lot to offer; so contact me if you're looking for a sincere friend who will always be there and might turn into a person to love you and who yearns to discover something new about you as much as possible.
